I got the idea to this from elsewhere... but the idea is to collect the quotes of the LotR boys and girls, that make you smile or laugh. I'll give you some for a start.

Christopher Lee about Elijah:

Quote:

"Elijah Wood will never grow old! With that almost Elfin face, he was Frodo. In his gentleness and sincerity – and in his enormous enthusiasm as an actor – he was simply perfect for the part."

Quotes from Craig Parker (Haldir):

Quote:

About his thought when he saw himself for the first time with his blonde Haldir wig: "I looked like a Drag Queen coming home from work in the morning."

About preparing himself for his role: "I moved to a forest and ate Lembas for a few months ..."

During a convention: "Look, the White Tree of Gondor, finally flowering after thousands of years. Let's cut it down."

[Three hobbits are in front of the camera - Billy, Dom and Elijah, explaining things. Elijah tries to hold back his laughter.]

Dom: "Elijah has to fall down onto the ground..."Billy: "...It was very serious shot."Dom: "Falling down onto Billy with me by his side near his a**l passage. And as he fell down he let go a little... a little burp." *makes fart noise*

[Camera cuts to flashback with Elijah laughing hard, rolling on the ground.]

PJ: "Great. That was great. Fantastic. Okay." *Comes from director seat* "All Right. Thank you."Someone: "That was great, guys."PJ: "Have you got one more in you?"

[Camera cuts back to the hobbits.]

Billy: "Me and Dom were doing a lot of good acting, as well, in that."Elijah: "I can't wait to see if it shows up on the sound."Billy: "My eyes were nipping..."Dom: "...It's gonna show up on the DVD."Billy: "...and it was really, really sore. And I was almost sick."Dom. "Yeah."

Dom *muffled*: Billy! Let me out!*Billy is watching TV in their camper thingy deal. He yells at the closet*Billy: Shut it! Shut your filthy mouth!Dom: I'll get the one you want! Let me out!!Billy *to camera*: I told him to get me an ice-cream sundae. Double chocolate. He gave me macadamia nut. I don't like macadamia nut.*Dom gets increasingly louder and bangs on closet door. Billy gets up, walks over to closet, and opens door*Dom: I--I see dead people!! *Billy punches Dom, who falls on the bed*Billy: Sorry you had to see that. *leaves camera sight*

"I hadn't met Sean before. I met him about four or five days before I flew to New Zealand for the first time. He was getting his wig fitted, as I needed to get mine fitted. I went to this hotel, and we kind of crossed paths in the lobby. Obviously we both knew who [the] other was. And we kind of stopped and looked at each other, and we just ran and gave each other a massive hug—and that was the first time I ever met him. It was this instant connection because we knew what we were about to embark on together."

"Viggo has no idea how attractive he is to women. He finds all the attention for his person embarrassing. He is really not the celeb type, prancing around at fancy Hollywood premieres. Dear God- we’re talking about a guy who runs around barefoot and speaks of spiritual art! Viggo is a wonderful mate. He’s an unusual and very special guy, and I admire him because he will never adjust to other people’s ideas of how he should be."

"He's burdened by the ring, so, yeah, I guess he bites his fingernails."

Orlando Bloom:

Quote:

"Vig used to call me 'elf boy' and I'd call him 'filthy human'. As an elf, I never got a scratch on me, never got dirty. And Vig would come out with blood and sweat all over him. And he'd say to me "Oh, go manicure your nails"

Dom Monaghan:

Quote:

"Drove to Arrowtown with Orlando Bloom and Elijah Wood and played cops and robbers in the forest. Also, Billy Boyd and I went round to six vineyards in a day. Not a good idea."

DM: The hobbits are the heart of the movie - they're the emotional core for goodness sake!BB: And we're handsome for God's sake. [points to Dominic] Look how pretty this man is! DM: I mean Orlando Bloom - what are you talking about? They [the hobbits] are what the audience love, they're what the people really, really hang onto. They're the last character the audience want to die! This Legolas guy - I hope he gets killed by an arrow in the next movie. Vroom... right through this eye! BB: It's all make up anyway. DM: Yeah you should see him when he's got his wig off. It's disgusting. Big open weeping warts on the top of his head. BB: Covered in warts. DM: Smells of elderberries. BB: Oh, he smells! DM: He can't defend himself [laughs] Hi Orly! BB: Hi Orlando! DM: How you doing mate?

Dom: There'd be times when somone would get tired and lose their temper, but we became such good friends that we got to know when someone was at breaking point and whether they needed a night out or just a good night's sleep, whether they needed to be left alone or given a hug -Billy: I need a hug!Dom: Not now!

Sean Astin:

Quote:

(About Lij) "I'm 10 years older than he is, and I had a lot of energy when I was his age, but he's like a cat. He's undaunted. They would tie him up and whip him around off these cherrypickers, and he was just game."

Billy Boyd:

Quote:

"I finally read it when I knew I was playing Pippin and realized that really it is all about Pippin and some other people!"

Ian McKellen:

Quote:

(About Gandalf) "He's a samurai"

"I would've preferred more women in the story, and I would've liked more sex."

Liv Tyler:

Quote:

They glued the Elf ears on, but they never got all the glue off. So, we would be picking glue out of our ears constantly. I went home to New York, and a week later, I still had all this sticky stuff. I was at a party, picking my ears and going, 'Ooh, sorry.'

About the comparison to Liz Taylor: "It's cool to be compared to her, but honestly who gives a damn."

About how much she loves her father: "I love my dad, although I'm definitely critical of him sometimes, like when his pants are too tight. ... But I love him so much and I try to be really supportive of him."

Quote:

About urinating in Peter Jackson's favourite fountain in Wellington, NZ, after a night out drinking:

Elijah: "We were walking home and saw this fountain."

Dom: "And I looked at it and he said 'We should conquer it.' Once we got to the top, what else was there to do but urinate in it?"

About the comparison to Liz Taylor: "It's cool to be compared to her, but honestly who gives a damn."

About how much she loves her father: "I love my dad, although I'm definitely critical of him sometimes, like when his pants are too tight. ... But I love him so much and I try to be really supportive of him."
